Scribe provides data entry assistants (medical scribes) who specialize in electronic medical records (EMR) to busy doctors in emergency departments, clinics and private practices. There is currently a growing need for medical scribes due to the rise in EMR being utilized for billing and documentation of health care services and the meaningful use requirements that are part of the Affordable Care Act.

EXHIBIT 99.1

 

General Employment’s Healthcare Subsidiary, Scribe Solutions Inc., Honored as One of Fastest Growing Companies

 

NAPERVILLE, IL / ACCESSWIRE / June 24, 2015 / General Employment Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE MKT: JOB) ("the Company" or "General Employment") a provider of specialty staffing services and solutions today announced that its Scribe Solutions (“Scribe”) subsidiary, will be honored as one of the 50 fastest-growing private companies in North Florida at the Jacksonville Business Journal 50 Awards on July 16, 2015. General Employment closed its acquisition of Scribe on April 1, 2015. Scribe Solutions still qualified for the Business Journal 50 Awards because Scribe did not become part of a public company until April 1, 2015. Scribe provides data entry assistants (medical scribes) who specialize in electronic medical records (EMR) to busy doctors in emergency departments, clinics and private practices. There is currently a growing need for medical scribes due to the rise in EMR being utilized for billing and documentation of health care services and the meaningful use requirements that are part of the Affordable Care Act.

 

Mary Claire Menze founded Scribe Solutions in 2008. Menze is the current president of Scribe, and she founded Scribe to meet the demands that physicians face with overcrowded waiting rooms, and to overcome the challenges presented by EMR, and the rising cost of quality patient care. By providing physicians with highly skilled personal assistants, Scribe offers turnkey programs where it recruits, qualifies, hires, and trains resources to serve as scribes at sites across the United States, and alleviates the burden of documentation and clerical duties. Scribe has developed a low cost staffing solution that improves productivity by providing scribe programs to emergency departments, physician practices, and outpatient and inpatient facilities. Ms. Menze commented, “The Scribe team is happy to have joined the General Employment family, and by joining the Company Scribe will be able to grow even more rapidly.” Derek E. Dewan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of General Employment stated, “ Our Company has offices in many markets throughout the U.S., spreading as far as California, and as the Company continues to expand its geographic footprint, Scribe will be able to market its services to hospitals and practices in new locations as well.”
